Sarah Ferguson Revealed How She Really Thinks Princess Diana Would Feel About Harry and Meghan’s Decision to Leave the Family
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shocked the world when they announced back in January 2020 that they would be stepping back from their roles as senior royals within the royal family. Since then, the two have settled down in California and have even welcomed their second child, named after Queen Elizabeth and Harry’s mother, Princess Diana.
Sarah Ferguson, who disaffiliated from the royal family long ago after her divorce from Prince Andrew, was quite close with Diana. And she recently revealed how she thinks Diana would have felt about Harry and Meghan’s royal exit.
The royal family is still sorting through tension caused by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s exit
When Harry and Meghan announced their royal exit back January 2020, people were shocked. However, it didn’t affect anyone like it affected the royal family. At the time, there were reports of tension between Meghan and Kate Middleton, though the rumors were unfounded beyond “anonymous sources.” But that tension soon pivoted to Harry and Prince William.
During Harry and Meghan’s trip to South Africa in 2019, Harry revealed that there was some tension between him and his brother, which only fueled even more rumors. And in most situations, the press was favoring William and Kate over Meghan and Harry. Eventually, the media — and the rumors — became too much, and Harry and Meghan stepped down.

Meghan was pregnant, and at home with new daughter Lilibet Diana, during both outings.
